Mint Cartridge Alignment Arc Protractor for sale

[karma67]

These dont come up for sale very often but due to switching to japanese tonearms mine is surplus to requirements.
The mint protractor is very accurate and easy to use,the 2 sight lines take away any doubt in aligning the cantilever .This one is for any tonearm that uses 211mm mounting distance,ie linn,zeta etc.

A google search will tell you how good these are.
It comes with full instructions and magnifying glass.
£70 including postage.

Might be worth contacting Yip as I think these are specific to the turntable and arm combo they are made for, and may well not be as successful on other deck/arm setups even if the pivot to spindle distance matches.

They are though fabulous, well made and will get you 100% spot on set up.

Unless I’m being thick I can’t see what difference a turntable would make?? It’s pivot to spindle that important isn’t it?

I would check with him, its my understanding he makes them specific for turntable and arm combo, so yours says Pioneer PLC590 + Zeta. I may be wrong, about this but having tried various protractors on my Technics1200 + Jelco 750 I could get none to work, until I got a Mint Tractor for that turntable arm combo. Fire a quick email off to him and ask, no harm in that and we all learn from it.

I will check but IMO it’s the arm mounting distance plus the over hang that create the arc,Ie it doesn’t matter what turntable it’s on.

A reply from the manufacturer yip,

dear Jamie,
the Tractor will work on tonearm with 211/229mm Mounting Distance and Effective Length.
Please note the spindle hole may not fit all turntables.

Regards,
Yip
